  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/ABCCLASS091 indicates that a classification profile is still in use in a planning area, which prevents you from deleting or modifying it. This is a common issue in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when trying to manage classification profiles.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the classification profile you are trying to delete or modify is still being referenced by one or more objects in the planning area. This could include:
  
  Active planning objects (like products, resources, etc.)
  Existing master data that utilizes the classification profile
  Active planning runs or processes that are using the profile
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to identify and remove the dependencies on the classification profile. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Identify Dependencies:
  
  Use transaction /SAPAPO/ABCCLASS to check which objects are using the classification profile. This transaction allows you to view the classification profiles and their usage.
  
  
  
  Remove or Change Usage:

  Check Master Data:
  
  Ensure that no master data (like products or resources) is still linked to the classification profile. You may need to update or delete these master data records.
  
  
  
  Re-run Planning Processes:
  
  If there are active planning runs, you may need to wait for them to complete or cancel them if they are not needed.
  
  
  
  Delete or Modify the Profile:
  
  Once all dependencies have been resolved, you should be able to delete or modify the classification profile without encountering the error.
